Summary

A DEVICE FOR APPLYING COMPRESSIVE UNIAXIAL STRESS HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO FIT WITHIN THE PICKUP COILS OF A SQUID MAGNETOMETER. FORCES OF UP TO 300 N MAY BE APPLIED FROM LIQUID-HELIUM TEMPERATURE UP TO ROOM TEMPERATURE. STRAIN GAUGES PROVIDE A VOLTAGE OUTPUT PROPORTIONAL TO STRESS THAT IS LINEAR AND REPRODUCIBLE TO WITHIN 3% OF FULL SCALE. DETAILED STUDIES OF THE STRESS DEPENDENCE OF THE MAGNETIZATION ARE POSSIBLE. STRESS-INDUCED SHIFTS IN MAGNETIC, SUPERCONDUCTING, AND OTHER TYPES OF TRANSITION TEMPERATURES CAN ALSO BE OBSERVED EASILY.
